Money, money, money

By David Gilks, Treasurer

As we come into 2011, the Canberra Brewers is coming off a great year. Success at Nationals, a great year on the social front, better prizes and rewards for members and a strong balance sheet have all contributed to this result.

Your Committee has been discussing plans for this year and you can expect expanded social activities, quality education events and new options to let loose your competitive spirit. We will also explore more opportunities as they arise following incorporation. As Dicko has mentioned, a range of specific initiatives are already underway with more details to follow as soon as details are locked down.

The biggest thing to happen to the Canberra Brewers this year will be incorporation of the group following the final proposal that was put to you all at the February meeting, and which was passed following the various votes. It is important that members renew their membership as soon as possible so that they are a part of a significant piece of club history. Details on both incorporation and membership renewals are in the News section of the forum.

I suppose as Treasurer I should let you know about the finances. Our finances are strong coming out of last year and will provide a strong base to support your Committee's Whitlam-esque plans to transform the Canberra Brewers and provide a better experience for members in 2011.
